@russellearnshaw I was enjoying the U18 game from Chinnor on YouTube until England stopped playing. Still 100 points in 65 mins is exciting (if you’re not a defence coach 🤣😂🤣)

@DRB67 @russellearnshaw That is not the problem, just another excuse. We have more than enough resources whilst keeping our players in The Prem.

@russellearnshaw How the RFU can continue to ban players who play abroad is beyond comprehension
English
A big gap between what Steve says and what he does. V. good players (and coaches) made to look v. average… sad. Our 2 most creative players brought on with 6mins to go. Louis Lynagh a better player for playing for Italy. Bill a super-fan, no coach dev, RFU asleep at the wheel 🤷♂️
English
@RugbyTimes @MikeFriday09 I agree but also we shouldn’t be pushing these guys too quickly then knock them down when they have a so-so game. Mitch was like that at Saints, but rarely has a bad game now. Archie is up and down, no doubt Lucas will be the same, but HUGE potential!!
English
Lucas Friday looks certain to follow Henry Pollock in going from England U20s to the senior team in rapid time. Has such a good understanding of the game, a quick pass, brave as a lion and all the skills @MikeFriday09 must be a v proud dad

@ScottBirch17 @saintdiamond1 So you finally pick Finn Smith, then remove his team mates and expect immediate results 🤷♂️
They should have left Steward and swapped Ford for Marcus today, but for me Finn is the long term 10
English
@saintdiamond1 Can’t help but feel this is a bit reactive . Although I will say it’s time for Steve to be ruthless
Ojomoh over Dingwall and Fin Smith over Ford is where I’d start
English
Remember England Fans. The RFU paid Tigers £1m to get this bloke out of his contract.
Well they can bloody well now pay £5M to get Dows and Vesty.
English
@IanRGould I genuinely thought I’d be going to Paris to see either a grand slam or title decider, could be an absolute rout by France.
The worrying bit is that’s 2 games in a row where not only have we shipped 30 points before the 60 minute mark but we’ve been out of the game by half time.
English
Another so far thoroughly abject performance from England, Borthwicick has got to go after 2 thoroughly dreadful performances.

@russbmckenzie Agree about taking off Steward today. Not sure what the Coaches are thinking, but some of the errors and decision making today were Coach Killers.
English
@IanRGould I don’t understand why the loyalty to Ford & then by taking Steward off & putting Smith at Fullback there was no chance to change attack. Ford kicks way too much good field position away.
Scotland last week was bad & it was just like a continuation of the same malaise.
English
@AndyGoode10 Has the scent of Wigglesworth all over it. We pick team that plays one style, then kick the ball away aimlessly. There were a few pivotal moments, not least the drop goal, but apart from Chessum and Earl we were very average. Back 3 Furbank, Freeman and Roebuck (just)
English
England made real strides over the last year ball in hand but that was back to the early Borthwick days of kick, kick and kick some more. Scotland were awesome as they always are against us and England had no plan B when the power game didn’t work. Fin Smith needs to be our 10
English
@russbmckenzie My wife Karen is a keen follower of equestrian sports from racing to eventing. Even though we win Gold Medals, World Champs, etc it barely gets a mention unless a Royal is involved. Agree on the 6 Nations, and what is this BS of starting on a Thursday night 🤬🤯
English
I don’t think I’ve ever seen the #6nations so badly promoted as it has been this year.
A landmark tradition in the rugby calendar with one week to go & it’s hardly been mentioned in the media
Can you imagine if this was a football tournament?

@SquidgeRugby Suspect he is brilliant in a club environment, but coaching International Rugby is a whole different challenge. Doesn’t make him a bad coach, some of the best coaches I know work in the Academy system but they don’t thrive in a “Must win” scenario.

A bombshell just dropped in Kiwi rugby- After just two years at the helm, All Blacks head coach Scott 'Razor' Robertson has been fired. We dig into what went wrong, whether this is the correct decision, and just what might happen next...

@CharlesAnyan Did you go out on the whale and dolphin watching boats? Loads of seals there, great spot 😎

Day 2 in NZ looked a bit like this 😁
In a place called Kaikoura 💪🇳🇿🇳🇿

@russellearnshaw They play fearlessly which comes from having what Geech calls “World Class Basics”, plus confidence that they will not be slaughtered in the team review if something doesn’t come off. Smiles all round, they are having fun on the pitch and off, a Band of Brothers in every sense.

Saints and Sam Vesty ♥️ Quins look like a team that don't train together...

@BenAdamsAgri @bofinfarmers @jasonmauck1 Had a great conversation with Jason at Acres a few weeks ago. Will follow your trial with great interest!!

2025 ends with great news 😃
First person in the UK to trial relay cropping in 1m strips over the next two years!
Grant is part of the adopt fund with help from facilitators @bofinfarmers
Two harvests, one cover crop and grazing all in one year?

@russellearnshaw They should spend time with Mark Hopley, Will Parkin, Digger, et al. That’s where the foundations are built that enables the team to play like that. Shares many things with The Magic Academy!

@TrooperSnooks @DissRugbyClub Not retired, just changing gears! I expect you will still see me about.
English
@IanRGould @DissRugbyClub They played well, but we were immense. Enjoy watching a lot more rugby now you are retired. I'll miss our chats at various shows.
English
Last game of 2025 for the @DissRugbyClub U15s and a comprehensive win v Shelford. These boys are on fire this season with 8wins, only 2 losses, a 186 point advantage, three on the Saints programme and two on Tigers'. It seems a long while ago they were playing minis.

This is well-worth a watch regardless of your involvement with Agriculture. The politics of this will come home to bite everyone that needs food on their plate. To be frank I don’t agree that a price floor is a good solution, we have been there before and it has big issues too.

John Deere got this video taken off our YouTube channel for two weeks. It took our lawyers reaching out to YouTube to get it back up. The video lays out how a handful of corporations took control of the entire agriculture industry, bankrupting farmers and screwing over America.
